: Does anyone have any suggestions for people just starting to script write? Thanxs
Get published any way you can. Write articles for local papers/magazines, start out small. Once you get accepted it will add validity in the eyes of publishers/agents looking for new talent. Do your homework! Write about things you KNOW and check your facts, if it's fiction make sure your spelling, syntax and verbage is correct and exactly the way you want it to be. Don't be skittish about setting your sights small at first to get where you want to be later. Also, it doesn't hurt to have an in. Try to get to know any local screenwriters/actors/publishers, the old addage it's not what you know, it's who you know, is still true.
